Fifth-seeded Pompton Lakes won 10 of the first 11 bouts and coasted to a 36-21 victory over the No. 4 Patriots in a NJSIAA North 1 Group 1 quarterfinal in North Warren's gym.

The Cardinals (16-6) won eight straight bouts to pull away from a 6-6 tie and took a 36-6 lead with three bouts remaining.

"We lost the coin toss and the way it was set up, we didn't get the matchups we wanted," North Warren coach Matt Parzero said. "We saved bonus points where we needed to but we didn't come up with some of the tossups. I expected it to be closer, but it's still a stretch to say we would have won."

Kyle Flynn's 2-1 win over Gino Fluri at 106 pounds gave the Cardinals a 30-6 lead and clinched the match with four bouts left.

"We got all the matchups we wanted," Cardinals coach Scott Mahoney said. "We came right out of the blocks and won a bunch of tossups. We try to prepare our kids for this time of year. I was happy the way our guys grinded out their matches."

"As much as we wanted to win, (individual tournaments) is what it really comes down to," Staufenberger said. "It's really an individual sport. Hopefully we're peaking at the right time. I'm excited about the districts coming up."
